100 points to Gryffindor.

Forgive the mediocre video quality, and don't be scared off by the twelve minute time-stamp. This is one of the most eloquent speeches on gender equality I've ever heard. Brava to UN Women Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson, who gave this speech in support of the HeForShe campaign -- a solidarity movement that aims to bring men into the push for a level playing field.

Senshi and spectres and saviors, oh my!

In my book, there are few cozier ways to spend a Sunday morning than perusing the internet in search of good art. Today's find is the work of artist Jenn So, who sells fannish prints and other goodies at her Society6 shop. I'm especially partial to the Lara Croft one. I also recommend looking very, very closely at the sheep in the last pic featured here.

From zero to interested in two minutes.

I initially watched this trailer because I wasn't aware that Tim Burton had a new movie coming out. Since watching it, I have fallen down an internet rabbit hole concerning artist Margaret Keane. Keane, it turns out, made quite the splash in the pop art scene of the 1960s, but her husband got the credit for her work.

I feel tired just watching this.

You will undoubtedly think that this video looks fake. It has to be fake, your brain tells you. Yes, parkour expert Jason Paul is running and jumping and flipping like a boss, but something about it looks off. Trust me here -- the reveal is fantastic. Enjoy.
